8. IANA Considerations

As specified in this document, the MPL_REACH_NLRI and MP_UNREACH_NLRI attributes contain the Subsequence Address Family Identifier (SAFI) field. The SAFI name space is defined in Section 9. The IANA will maintain and register values for the SAFI namespace as follows. SAFI value 0 is reserved. SAFI values 1, 2, and 3 are assigned in this document. SAFI values 4 through 63 are to be assigned by IANA using the "IETF Consensus" policy defined in RFC 2434. SAFI values 64 through 127 are to be assigned by IANA, using the "First Come First Served" policy defined in RFC 2434. SAFI values 128 through 255 are for "private use", and values in this range are not to be assigned by IANA.
